Indium-doped SnTe has been of interest because the system can exhibit both topological sur- face states and bulk superconductivity. While the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature is established, the character of the electronic states induced by indium doping remains poorly understood. We report a study of magneto-transport in a series of Sn_1-xIn_xTe single crystals with 0:1 ≤ x ≤ 0:45. From measurements of the Hall effect, we find that the dominant carrier type changes from hole-like to electron-like at x ~ 0:25; one would expect electron-like carriers if the In ions have a valence of +3. For single crystals with x = 0:45, corresponding to the highest super- conducting transition temperature, pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are observed in the normal state. In measurements of magnetoresistance, we nd evidence for weak anti-localization (WAL). We attribute both the quantum oscillations and the WAL to bulk Dirac-like hole pockets, previously observed in photoemission studies, which coexist with the dominant electron-like carriers.
